Time's running out to apply for 2023 school year

The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has reminded parents and caregivers that there are only 4 days left to apply for the 2023 school admissions process.

The WCED says they have received 120 000 applications thus far, of which, 57 000 are for Grade 8 enrolment.

Parents can apply for Grade R, Grade 1 and 8. A transfer request is required for learners in Grades 2-7 and Grades 9-12.

Parents and caregivers have until midnight,15 April 2022, to apply for the 2023 school year.

‘’If one fails to apply before this date, any application after this date will be deemed as a late application, and preference will be given to applications submitted by 15 April 2022,’’ said Bronagh Hammond, WCED spokesperson.

‘’We want to thank all those that have applied timeously and appeal to others that wish to apply for the next school year, to do so by 15 April 2022. Applying after this date could affect their choice of placement and it will affect our planning,’’ added Hammond.

Parents and caregivers can log onto https://admissions.westerncape.gov.za to apply online.
